Is there a way to get diagnostics out of glint? I have a secondary
machine on which I did a bare-bones install. Now that I have the basics
up and running, I want to install more stuff. Running glint as root, I
select packages from the Available Packages window and press the Install
button. The Installing dialog comes up and correctly displays the
Packages and kbytes numbers. The botom progress indicator (total
packages left) quickly goes from 0 to 100, while the individual package
progress indicator (the top one) does nothing at all. None of the
packages get installed.
I tried manually installing some of the packages (using rpm) and I found
out that there were dependent packages that I had not installed. It was
pretty easy to then go back into glint and select the needed packages.
This is not so easy when you have a hundred packages installed...
